Power BI needs a robust trellis / small multiples chart functionality as soon as possible. Anyone who has spent a great number of hours making visualizations would eventually conclude that this functionality is an absolute must have.

I would extend this idea to more than just line visualizations; I have a valid business scenario for having small multiple pie charts, which I can easily accomplish in Tableau, with very minimal effort.

An external consultancy I'm working with produced some sample output in Tableau. The dynamic trellis function is really well implemented and scales nicely to the page and looks really good. Onlt having Tableau reader, I tried to replicate in both Power BI and QlikView. Qlikview has this capability, but it is impossible to get make a usable visualistaion. Power Bi appears not to have this capability at all. This is a something that is urgently needed to make Power BI a real contender.
